Orange Baskets

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cut the oranges in half, leaving the peel intact to form baskets.

  2. Remove the pulp and juice; reserve the juice for making orange jelly.

  3. Once ready to serve, place a spoonful of whipped cream over the jelly in each orange basket.

  4. Serve in a box lined with orange or laurel leaves.
